Joel Ruiz directs, the screenplay is written by Ruiz and National Book Award-winning writer Tara Sering. Paulken Bustillo, Randy Punzal and Lui Manansala star.
Arkeo according to Jill
| October 8, 2009
Jill Pamandanan’s yellow skirt will surely be missed. She talks about pets and children and Arkeo’s fully dysfunctional office for her last blog as a regular. Conquer the world, and hire us soon! –Arkeo Team

It’s almost an entire year since the move to 8466.
It’s funny that November is still a vivid memory I always go back to whenever I blog about Arkeo.
I remember walking in to this construction site, asking a man with a hammer if I was at the right place and if (although odd) he knew where I had to go for my interview. Naturally he didn’t, but he said there were people upstairs and I could go straight ahead.
Oh my yellow skirt.
The uncertainty and nerves!
I led my way up the hardly finished staircase and bumped into random boxes all over the second floor where I then met Tracy and saw Popo and JH briefly. The boys didn’t even look at me. Or they did, I just didn’t see.
Regardless, that feels so long ago…
